Oscorm might offer messaging and communication services helping businesses and freelancers communicate with one another regarding projects and services.

We process communications for the purpose of providing the messaging service and for the purposes of the safe and effective operation of the marketplace. We may process or review communications where reasonably necessary and permitted by law to investigate fraud, scams, abuse, security incidents, disputes, violations of our Terms and Conditions or similar activity which may threaten the safety or integrity of Oscorm.

How We Share Personal Information

Personal information is not disclosed without consideration. We share information when reasonably necessary to provide our services, to run our business, to comply with legal requirements, to protect our users or for any other reason that may be allowed by law.

Depending on the situation, personal data can be made available to the following types of recipients:

  • Customer support providers

  • Professional advisers such as legal and accounting advisers
  • Authorities or law enforcement officials, as required by law
  • Coordinated with business partners as needed for a requested service
  • Any parties in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring or sale of assets.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Oscorm does not use the term "sell personal information for money" in the traditional sense of personal information being sold as a product. But California privacy legislation employs the words “sale” and “sharing” in particular legal contexts which can have expansive legal connotations.

Depending on the circumstances of the disclosure, some disclosures of personal information to third parties, especially in the context of cross-context behavioral advertising, could constitute a sale or a sharing under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

If Oscorm engages in any activity that would result in a sale or sharing, as defined by California law, we will make the notices and opt-out rights required by law. In addition, residents in California may be able to send an opt-out preference if required by applicable law by using a valid Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal.

Sensitive Personal Information

There is some extra protection for certain types of information under California and other privacy laws. Sensitive personal information can include government identification numbers, exact location, some account details, private communications made, biometric data used for identification, some medical information, race or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical belief, citizenship or immigration information, union membership information, and information on sex life or sexual orientation.

Oscorm does not intentionally seek accountant personal information unless there is a valid reason for collecting and/or processing it, including to provide a requested service; to help maintain security of the account; to help prevent fraud; for the purposes of the law; or for another lawful business purpose.

California Privacy Rights

If you reside in California and the CCPA applies to how Oscorm collects and uses your information, you may have some rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include:

  • Right to Know: You have the right to know about the categories of personal information we collect, the purposes of our collecting it, the categories of sources from which we collect it, the categories of third parties to which we disclose it and where applicable, specific pieces of personal information we have about you.
  • Right to Delete: You can ask for personal data that Oscorm has collected to be deleted, except as required by law.
  • Right to Correct: You have the right to have the incorrect personal information that Oscorm maintains corrected (to the extent legally permitted).
  • Right to Opt Out: If you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
  • Right to Limit: You have the right to restrict certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information, if applicable.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: The right to not be subjected to unlawful discriminatory treatment in the exercise of rights granted under the CCPA.

In certain instances, California law allows for the retention or processing of information when a consumer requests it, such as during the completion of a transaction or when required by law, to maintain security, to prevent fraud, to exercise legal rights, or for other reasons provided in the law.

How to Exercise California Privacy Rights

Residents of California can contact us with their privacy requests as described in the Contact Us section below.

To verify an identity for purposes of providing information or taking action, we may ask for your name and address, or any other identification you deem necessary. Verification is important because it will ensure that your account and personal data will not be used for unauthorized requests.

To submit a privacy request, you are not required to create an account. You can also designate another person to make a request for you, where legal. Documentation may be required to verify identities and authorizations.

Valid and verifiable requests will be responded to in a timely manner as required by applicable California law. We will send the necessary notification if more time is legally allowed and reasonably needed.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

Oscorm is required to maintain this Privacy Policy, pursuant to the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”).

This Privacy Policy outlines the types of data that Oscorm collects, its uses of, and disclosure of information, and its users' options and rights, if any, as required by law.

Global Privacy Control

Some browsers and technologies support sending signals of privacy preferences. One of such mechanisms is Global Privacy Control, which could help send a user's request to refuse to be involved in specific sales or sharing of personal data.

If a valid Global Privacy Control signal is received by Oscorm, it will be treated as an opt-out for applicable activities as required by California law.

The impact of a privacy preference signal could vary based on the location of the user, relevant law, and processing activity to which the user's signal applies.

Data Handling & Security

Data Retention

Oscorm keeps personal information as is reasonably necessary to provide our services, to maintain accounts, to complete transactions, to operate our business, to safeguard our users, to prevent fraud, to resolve disputes, to comply with our legal obligations and to enforce our agreements.

How long we store information for is influenced by the type of information and the purpose for which it was gathered. Some information may have to be kept after the account is closed due to tax, accounting, legal, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, and other valid needs.

If the information is no longer reasonably necessary or there is no requirement or permission to keep the information, it may be deleted, anonymised, aggregated or securely disposed of.

Data Security

Oscorm implements reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal data from being accessed, disclosed, modified, destroyed, or used by someone other than the owner.

Depending on the circumstances, our safeguards may include:

  • Access controls and authentication
  • Encryption where appropriate
  • Security monitoring and logging
  • System and application safeguards
  • Vendor security requirements
  • Restricted employee and contractor access
  • Security testing
  • Fraud-detection measures
  • Incident-response procedures
  • Secure deletion and disposal practices

We will do our best to secure information but there is no way to store or transmit information on the internet that is 100% secure. We are not therefore able to guarantee that such personal information will not be subject to unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

Data Breach Notification

If Oscorm knows that a security incident has occurred in connection with the personal information, it will investigate the incident and make reasonable efforts to contain, mitigate and remediate the incident.

If a breach results in notification under applicable law, we will notify affected persons, regulators or other authorities as required.

There are laws in California that dictate notification after certain personal data breaches. If breach-notification requirements apply to an incident, Oscorm will adhere to those requirements.

Additional Information

Children's Privacy

Oscorm is designed for users who are legally able to use our marketplace and enter into applicable agreements. We do not intentionally obtain the personal information of children in situations where the law forbids this.

Should we be informed that we have collected information from a child under circumstances in which we did not have the right to collect it we will take reasonable steps to remove it as required by applicable law.

If applicable to a specific Oscorm activity, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) or other children's privacy laws apply, we will abide by the specific requirements of that law.

If you think a child shared personal information with Oscorm that was used in a situation that is not in compliance with the applicable law, please notify us.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Oscorm can include links and integration to third-party websites, applications, payment services, social-media sites and other external services.

You are subject to the privacy policy and terms of third party service when using it. Oscorm does not have any control over, nor is responsible for, the privacy policies and practices of any independent third parties.

Please read the privacy policy of any third-party service before furnishing personal information to the service.

Payment Processing

Oscorm may employ third party payment processing companies to facilitate payments and transactions. When you make a payment in or receive a payment via Oscorm, details relating to payment cards, bank information, billing information, transaction information and identity information may be processed by the applicable payment provider.

Oscorm may be sent transaction related data, which includes, without limitation, the status of a transaction, transaction identifiers, transaction amounts, amounts due for refunds, and other information required for the operation of the marketplace.

Some data may be processed independently by the payment providers according to their privacy policies and terms. Independent payment providers are not controlled by Oscorm with regard to privacy practices.

Fraud Prevention and Marketplace Safety

Maintaining a trustworthy marketplace is important to Oscorm. Personal information and Technical information are used to identify, investigate and prevent fraudulent, deceptive, abusive or prohibited activity.

This can include the detection of fake accounts, scams, payment fraud, spam, attempts to circumvent marketplace protections, malicious activity, violations of our Terms and Conditions, and more.

These activities can be automated, manual or a mix of the two. If there are specific rights related to automated decision-making or profiling as mandated by the applicable law, Oscorm will adhere to the requirements of this law.

Automated Decision-Making

Oscorm reserves the right to rely on automated systems to assist in the operation, security and enhancement of the marketplace. For instance, automated technologies can help in fraud detection, security monitoring, content organization, recommendations, or even other platform functions.

If the law requires us to disclose specific details, notices, human review rights, etc., concerning automated decision-making or profiling, we will provide those details.

International Users

Oscorm is a Sacramento, California based company with services conducted primarily in the U.S. The processing or storage of personal information may take place in the United States or in other countries depending on the location of our users, employees, contractors and service providers.

The privacy laws of those countries may be different from the ones in your home country. When an additional layer of protection is required to ensure the international transfer of personal information under applicable law, Oscorm will employ an appropriate lawful mechanism for the transfer of personal information or other safeguards.

European and International Privacy Rights

If you are in an European Economic Area country, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or some other country with privacy laws, including the GDPR, that govern Oscorm's activities, you may have other rights.

Depending on the applicable law, these rights may include:

  • Access to your personal information
  • Correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion of personal information
  • Restriction of processing
  • Objection to certain processing
  • Data portability
  • Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent
  • The right to lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority

Oscorm will indicate the legal grounds for processing your personal data, where applicable. The legal basis could be a contractual relationship, a legal requirement, legitimate interests, consent or another legal basis depending on the circumstances.

This section does not imply that GDPR or any other international privacy law automatically applies to all Oscorm users. The applicability is dependent on the applicable law and Oscorm's activities.

Federal Privacy and Consumer Protection Laws

Oscorm is trying to meet federal laws that relate to what it does. Federal requirements may apply to a particular service or activity, such as the Federal Trade Commission Act, Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, CAN-SPAM Act, Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and other federal privacy, security, communications, or consumer-protection laws.

Some industry-specific regulations, like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and Fair Credit Reporting Act, only come into effect with respect to businesses that engage in activities regulated by the laws. The mere fact that they are listed here does not imply that each law is applicable to all Oscorm users and services.

Oscorm will evaluate and meet any applicable federal requirements for products, services, information and activities.

Account Closure

You can discontinue your Oscorm account as part of the account-management features we offer.

Not everything related to your account will be deleted when you close your account. To complete any transactions, accounting or business records, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, meet legal requirements, enforce agreements, protect our rights, or for other lawful purposes, as may be necessary.

If information is no longer needed or allowed to be kept, it may be deleted, anonymized or securely destroyed.
